[Bug 1455223] Re: [time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work offline

[Sebastien Bacher]

The internet access makes sense in the ubiquity installer because you
can assume the machine is not configured yet, that's not the case in
settings so I think using the offline datas would be fine there

Title:
  [time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work
  offline

Status in libtimezonemap package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Click on clock -> Time and Date settings -> Clock -> Choose Locations
  -> Click the + -> Start typing "San Franc"

  When I'm at home, on a 300mbps connections, it takes several seconds
  to several minutes, when trying to add a new location.

  When I'm on a plane without internet connectivity, (ie, exactly when I
  most importantly need to change the time on my laptop to the new/next
  timezone), it doesn't work at all.

  Can we please, please, please move this timezone/location information
  to a locally cached database?
